June 7, 2009 - SNOW - Steve Hoovler

Damn you, May. You tricked me into a false sense of security, with your blue skies and your warm sun.  How do sleep at night? You build up hopes and dreams of summer only to let them die a slow and lonely death one snowflake at a time.

I guess you have to be careful what you wish for. A week ago I welcomed the return of seasonal weather and hoped for a wet June. This morning I woke up to a couple of inches of snow, and I'm starting to re-think this whole thing.

Regardless, the inclement weather has made for some pretty clement fishing. The Firehole and Henry's Fork are our two good dry fly fisheries right now, and both have seen good hatches this week.  Flows out of the Madison are all the way down to 722cfs. Nymphing and streamer fishing has been good around the wade stretch, and I heard a good report from Lyons to Ruby of a few fish eating march browns.

The "scuzz" is supposed to be around all week. We're well on our way to getting those 20 days of precip in June. Stay tuned.
